Not wanting to be alone, I turned toward your town
With my cellphone off, I made the bumpy half-day train trip

I don’t know what got into me to go over so suddenly
But then I saw your figure, waving when you found me

Whenever we meet like this, overflowing with smiles under the blue sky
(a kindly summer breeze)
We go back to the days of our youth
Knowing we’re not alone

I had no complaints about the path my parents laid out for me
But I grew to dislike the me that ran away, blaming others

Walking around, I come across people all hard at work
Ignorant of the ways of the world, I wonder if I, too, will have a future

“Happiness”–what is it? I have to find out for myself [1]
(thank you, thank you my friend)
For a little while, I think I’ll search for happiness here
And slowly pass the time

For some reason when we’re together I feel confident
And feel like I can do anything
You are always the one guiding me
And you always gave me energy

If I spend time with you like this, under the same blue sky
(a kindly summer breeze)
I can become my true self
I’m so glad that you are here for me

Like the sun that passes no judgement, your kindness
(thank you, thank you my friend)
Has saved me countless times – “Thank you”
I’m so glad that I met you

一人になりたくなくて　君の町へ向かった
携帯の電源を切って　半日列車に揺られた

突然行くなんてどうかしてるけど
私を見つけて手を振る姿見えたよ

青空の下でこうして会って笑顔がこぼれるたび
(a kindly summer breeze)
少女のままの二人に戻る
ひとりじゃないと思える

親の敷いたレールに何の不満もなかった
だけど誰かのせいにして　逃げる自分が嫌になったよ

外を歩けば働く人に出会う
世間知らずな私にも未来はあるかな

幸福（しあわせ）ってなぁに？　自分の目で確かめていかなきゃ
(thank you, thank you my friend)
しばらくここで宝物（しあわせ）探し
ゆっくり過ごそうと思う

一緒に居ると何故か強気で
なんでもできそうな気持ちになる
相談役ばっかりだったけど
いつも元気にしてくれたね

青空の下でこうして君と同じ時を過ごせば
(a kindly summer breeze)
素顔のままの自分になれる
君が居てくれてよかった

何にも咎めない太陽みたいな君の優しさに
(thank you, thank you my friend)
何度救われたかな　”ありがとうね”
君と出逢えてよかった
